DE3109681A1 - Energy quanta motor (light-heat engine) - Google Patents

Abstract

In order to reduce energy conversion losses and thereby improve the efficiency of heat engines, a heat engine which is built on the Stirling engine principle is equipped with one or more cylinder head(s) pervious to radiation energy (energy quanta), through which the radiation energy (energy quanta), solar energy radiation, combustion energy radiation etc., then passes directly into the swept volume (expansion chamber) and onto the piston surface (hot side) of the heat engine. In order to keep the heat dissipation and radiation losses to a minimum the cylinder head pervious to energy quanta may be designed with a double wall with intermediate vacuum whilst the piston surface may be absorbent or reflective for specific energy quanta magnitudes and reflectors and heat insulation may be fitted on the cylinder head. <IMAGE>

Description

Energy quantum engine (Licht-Warmej-p ^ ftHiascKine) "". : 31Q9R81 The invention relates to a motor (prime mover) with external energy supply, for drive purposes (generators, motor vehicles, etc.), which with light and heat energy (solar light and heat, gas flame Light and heat energy etc.) is supplied and partially converts this into mechanical energy (kinetic energy etc.) and heat.

In such energy quantum motors, in addition to the thermal energy the light energy (radiation energy) from the sun or fire also contribute to the energy conversion, (different energy quanta E = hv)

Some motors with an external power supply are known at which only the heat energy is transferred (formal Stirling engine, patents from Philips, etc.)

Not known are engines based on the Stirling principle, which are direct rp.it light and heat quanta (radiation energy etc.) ^ are provided and then give off some mechanical energy and warnings.

The invention is based on the object of the less energetic Umbrella quanta, due to the more energetic light quanta. supplement to achieve a better mechanical efficiency in the Stirling engines etc. (Better quantum response).

According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the cylinder head (i) of so-called hot gas or straight motors consists of a suitable light and heat permeable material, e.g. GIaS ₁ Q ¹ , glass ceramic, etc. Cause expansion of the working medium (H2, He etc.) and thus deliver more mechanical energy to the crankshaft etc.

In order to operate an energy quantum engine with concentrated solar energy, it can be useful to allow the energy quantum to pass through Equip cylinder head double-walled (1 + 3) with an intermediate vacuum (2) in order to reduce energy losses (cooling, etc.). It can also be useful to reduce the radiation rate, etc. by using a suitable reflector (5) with housing (6).

If the energy quantum engine with chemical energy, e.g. 3. Incineration operated by hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), alcohol, etc. {

The advantages to be achieved by the invention should mainly lie in an expected higher degree of efficiency and, consequently, in the energy saving w d more favorable energy generation. Noise: low noise (quiet), environmental friendliness (no or hardly harmful? Exhaust gases, less waste heat, etc.), an expected low maintenance effort (oil change, etc.), etc.
